It's been awhile since I stopped playing golf but I'm trying to wrap my head around why your Rheumy thinks the impact of hitting the ball might cause symptoms to get worse. Maybe he's seen how bad I was and the size of the divots I took 🙂 If it were me, I would just give it a try and listen to my body - if it hurts, don't do that. Good luck whatever you decide!

I hear ya, just looking to see what others have experienced... going to swing an 8 iron today and see how it goes...thx. My Rheumy is a she BTW - I believe she was more concerned about symptoms caused by osteoarthritis as she's not convinced my symptoms are all PMR based as my blood work has been in the green for some time now but symptoms persist, next doc visit is May 10th..
